- Title
An Old Solution to the Problem of Mixed Atomics.
- Authors
Stewart-Wallace, Adam
- Abstract
This paper examines a difficulty for various forms of truth pluralism, known in the literature as the problem of 'mixed atomics'. It is argued that two prominent attempts to respond to the difficulty-those of Jeremy Wyatt and Gila Sher-fail. In their place, an alternative is offered based on parts of Crispin Wright's Truth and Objectivity programme. It is argued that the Wrightian approach works because it substitutes traditional conceptions of truth-relevant properties, for example correspondence and coherence, for criteria of objectivity pertaining to discursive practices. This allows us to give expression to the nuanced way in which the pluralist wants to treat mixed atomics.
